I have 533 XYZ files. i want to convert these all files in to gtif files. i am looking to convert these all files together. Do you have any java or python script to convert these all files together.
Hi Samitha,
You can simply run following command to convert XYZ to GeoTIFF.
gdal_translate input.xyz output.tif
if you want to override the projection for the output file, use the following.
gdal_translate -a_srs EPSG:CODE input.xyz output.tif

Is QGIS not an option for you ?
ASCII gridded data files (.xyz) can be imported, as explained here:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/45197/what-is-xyz-format-in-qgis
Then you can export the raster layer(s) as geotiff
Here is a bash script:
---
#!/bin/bash
xyzINpath='/xyzdir'
tifOUTpath='/tifdir'
for i in ${xyzINpath}/*.xyz; do
tifname=`echo $(basename ${i}) | cut -d '.' -f1`
gdal_translate ${i} ${tifpath}/${tifname}.tif
done
---
This scrip will read all xyz files in /xyzdir and converts to GeoTiffs into /tifdir
It will us the prefix of the input xyz files to rename the output tiff files.
Hope this helps.
Niroshan Sanjaya really appreciate your answer sir.i have 533 files. by using this command, i want do it one by one. Isn't it sir. but i want to convert these all files together.
Yes it will convert all files in /xyzdir and create new GeoTiff files in /tifdir
If you want all files in the same directory just change both names to ./ and it will still work. You must have gdal installed on a Linux computer for this to work. If you have a windows computer you will need to use a different .bat script.

I have mentioned the gdal command to convert XYZ file to tif.
You don't need to run it one by one.
You can create the bash script as Reuben Reyes mentioned (Hope you are trying this in a linux machine).
